Bangalore is an ideal place for one and all with so many things to do and keep you busy with. Music, dance and concerts western and classical, carnivals, dramas, exhibitions, conferences, discos, international plays etc.
Bangalore is also home to many historical landmarks. The Bangalore fort was built by Kempe Gowda. The majestic fort was later renovated by the then ruler Tipu Sultan, inside of which is the old and well preserved Ganapathi temple which is over 400 years old. The fort is famous for its wooden carvings and beautiful paintings on the walls and ceilings. It is open for the public at the cost of a nominal fee, which is defiantly worth it. The Lal Bagh was built by Hyder Ali. This is a beautifully and well planned botanical garden with over a 1000 different species of flora. It is built around a sloped hill on a massive 2400 acre land. It also includes a beautiful lake with boating facilities. The glass house at the Lal Bagh hosts its annual fruit and flower shows every year which is a treat for the senses.
Similarly the Cubbon Park is also another botanical garden built in the year 1864. What makes this park more special is the number of government buildings including the High court, Government museum, The Bangalore Aquarium and the public library. Today the Cubbon Park is a jogger’s park where many people young and old come here for a jog or a walk in the mornings and evenings alike. There are many temples in Bangalore known for its beauty, age, and other mythical beliefs but it is the famous Iskon temple that takes all the attention. The Iskon temple is a famous landmark not just in Bangalore but around the world which attracts pilgrims and believers from across the globe. Located on Chord road, this temple is located on a small mountain but can be seen from miles away. Definitely worth a visit for its architectural glory.
Lakes also add to the beauty of Bangalore showing you a divine contrast between the natural beauty and an emerging city. The Ulsoor Lake is one such lake that stands out in the category. A beautiful serene lake with its many islands and shady trees make s it an ideal weekend getaway. It also has boating facilities and a swimming pool to beat the heat especially in the summers. The Vidhan Soudha is a historical landmark, with its splendid Dravidian architecture, the Vidhan Soudha is by far the most important government building in Bangalore. It is home to the state legislature and secretariat. The huge sandal wood door adds value and class to this building. It was recently renovated and an extension of the same building was also built which is also called its twin. The building is open for the public after 3 PM.
